Oh you know it!
I'm thinking of a theme surrounding Formy the maffia boss.

Well, this thread appears to be dying. I wonder if I'll get to the end of P&A 3 before the mods / the man finally closes me down?



Now, what will Peter do with his father?

Come on people! I want to hear more wild speculation about Phalian!
Will Peter kill his father? What will Alien do with the Bus company? How will John Fillis get better? Wait, okay, that last one doesn't count...

OH! And extra special and magical thanks to TheGreatElvenWarrior for the second story this week! Not has a submission in ages!

Okay then.

1. Will Peter kill his father?

No, because his father stole Frodo's mithril shirt.

2. What will Alien do with the Bus company?

Rope the buses together and use them as a traveling stage for his musical act.

3. How will John Filis get better?

He won't; he'll just mutate into a giant talking carrot. Which I suppose is better...

Hey now, we can't allow that to happen, can we? Downer-readers of the world, unite!

Well, every archetypal hero has to confront/do battle with his/her father figure at some point*, don't they? I'm sure Joseph Campbell wrote something of the like somewhere... Witness Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader... (Seriously, I should go to bed.)

It's not dying! Not yet. Wait, isn't everything here dead anyway?

I escaped by the way, one of their pulleys broke and I agreed to fix it in exchange for my freedom. But all in all, amazing article. You too Hookbill, I liked the wig. I want it for a pet.

John Fillis IS going to get better! He will become even more monstrous!

I guess I shouldn't have read The Phantom Bus Driver. Is P&A going to continue to follow that story line? I sort of hope not, I don't want P&A to and so soon. But I must admit The Phantom Bus Driver was great. Go Gertrude!

Yes... And no... The Phantom Bus Driver covers only a little of the story. Here in P&A, the ending is going to be twisted!
